One Yoga

One Yoga is a yoga school and small beach resort in Srithanu on Koh Phangan's west coast, with sea-view and beachfront bungalows above its own private bay and a shala right on the beach. It's best known for its teacher trainings, but it also runs daily drop-in classes and a weekly residential retreat, so it works for a single class as well as a month.

The Yoga Sadhana retreat is a week of asana, pranayama, philosophy, sound healing and meditation, at US$299 for the first week and US$249 for each week after. The 200-hour teacher training takes four weeks and costs US$2,299, or US$2,099 if you book two months ahead, and there are 300- and 500-hour courses and a 50-hour Yin training too. All the food is vegetarian or vegan, with breakfast and lunch buffets in the dining area.

Bungalows range from shared and snug to private and roomy, wooden Thai style or modern, so ask which one a package includes. The drop-in timetable is on the school's website.
